Housing for cosmetic product

Abstract

A housing for cosmetic product includes a base receiving at least one cosmetic product and a cover mounted on the base so as to be able to rotate, and to be moved between a closed position and an open position. The housing also includes an intermediate plate receiving at least one cosmetic product and mounted on the cover so as to be able to rotate and is arranged between the base and the cover, the plate being movable between a retracted position and a deployed position. The plate passes from the retracted position thereof to the deployed position thereof by a manipulation of the cover. The intermediate plate as well is movable in rotation between the deployed position and a release position in which the plate is led to a distance from the base so as to expose and / or make accessible the entire surface area of the base.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) to French Patent Application Serial Number 1561307, filed Nov. 24, 2015, entitled “HOUSING FOR COSMETIC PRODUCT”, the entire teachings of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Field of the Invention[0003]The invention relates to a housing for cosmetic product. Such housings comprise a base having one or more apertures for receiving cosmetic products and a cover which is connected to the base to close or open the housing. Thus, when the cover is in the opening position, the user has access to the apertures in the base.[0004]Description of the Related Art[0005]In order to increase the number of proposed cosmetic products in the housing, it is known to add an intermediate plate, acting as an internal drawer, between the base and the cover. Said intermediate plate can receive cosmetic products, just like the base. It is designed so as to be hidden i...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a cosmetic product housing with more internal space for cosmetic products, a simplified design, and additional functionalities. The housing includes a middle plate that can hold cosmetic products and is completely releasable from the base, allowing the entire surface area of the base to access and hold cosmetic products. The middle plate also allows access to the internal surface area of the cover, which was not possible in the prior art. The cover can be opened and closed easily using magnetic devices. The use of magnetic devices dispenses with any bulky mechanical connections, and the design of the plate and base is simpler and more refined. The assembly inside the housing is also facilitated.

Problems solved by technology

Aside from the fact that mounting the plate is difficult inside the housing, this construction has another major disadvantage.

The utilisation of the space in the base under the plate is very limited.

In addition, the design of the different parts is relatively complicated, since it must integrate the mechanical connections.

This leads to expensive and fragile moulds.
